Chapter 242: Take it completely

Chapter 242 is completely taken

At the beginning, Lu Yan came to Debao Film Company, and Cen Jianxun still guessed the purpose of the other party's visit. Especially when Lu Yan proposed to invite himself to join Dongcheng Imaging in person, he smiled noncommittally. But he never thought that Debao Film Company was acquired? And is it still going to be merged into the East City Image?

Thinking about it, Cen Jianxun suddenly grabbed the phone in the office and was about to call Pan Disheng. But after holding the phone for a long time, he slowly put it down again. stared at Lu Yan repeatedly, and then asked with a wry smile: "Yan Zai, are you sure you are not joking with me?" ”

"Brother Curly, I specially came from the company to your Debao to make such a joke with you" Lu Yan's face was calm, looked at Cen Jianxun and said seriously: "After the merger of Debao Film Company and our Dongcheng Image, I will be the manager." So, I came here today to talk to you about ...... curly."

Although Shum Jianxun is not liked by Pan Disheng, and he is not even outstanding in terms of managerial talent. But you can't deny his vision and grasp of cinema. It is precisely because of this that Lu Yan will personally come over to talk to this curly-haired brother. If you can stay, it will certainly be the best. Because within Debao Film Company, many people passed because of Cen Jianxun

Later, Debao Film Company broke up because Pan Disheng began to intervene, and he asked Michelle Yeoh to shoot "Male and Female Thieves". Before Cen Jianxun left, Debao had two films that he didn't like, both of which were produced by Pan Disheng, and Cen Jianxun did not agree to shoot them.

Michelle Yeoh's transformation was helped by Cen Jianxun, she just came back to shoot "The Owl and Dumbo", Cen Jianxun told her, you can't, do you want to transform into an action actor, because she dances ballet, she is very willing. Cen Jianxun's name is Yuan Kui, and Lin Zhengying helped him train Michelle Yeoh for a few months. This is how the first "Royal Senior Sister" began, Michelle Yeoh was still not popular at that time, so she asked Cen Jianxun to support them, and because of this, Cen Jianxun performed in person, and even invited Tsui Hark to come over to help. Because you want to sell this movie starring newcomers, at this time, it is natural that Cen Jianxun and Tsui Hark in the film can sell the port.

It is precisely because of Cen Jianxun that he has a lot of understanding and his influence within Debao Film Company. Therefore, Lu Yan was a little eager to hope that the other party could express his attitude at the moment.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Cen Jianxun's eyes suddenly became a little gray, and he no longer had the brightness when he first saw Lu Yan: "Debao didn't have a theater at the beginning, and they were all from Jiahe. Just last year, I thought we should have our own cinema chain. Just talked to Shaw Brothers, and Zou Wenhuai was also fighting at that time. Actually, I don't fight much with Xinyicheng, we join forces to fight Jiahe, Jiahe is too strong, you know, don't we Debao also take Dongcheng Imaging to fight together, although your movies are so popular, but you can't deny that Xinyicheng is very strong. There are more talents and people than me, and I am a straggler. I'm just going to be alone, looking for someone I think is talented. Boss Shao doesn't want to do it, he doesn't make movies much, stop, of course, he also hopes that the theater line will fall into the hands of some energetic young people, in fact, in order to be able to make some good profits, Yan Zai, we have a good image of Dongcheng, right? Basically, your movies are all on the top file.

Let's say you can rent ten movie theater faucets for a price. I told him: Boss Shao, help young people, reduce 300,000 a month He thought about it and asked an assistant next to him: How much money do we donate to that university in Zhejiang? 100 million a year. Oh, turn your head and ask me, what did you just say, I said you didn't say anything. Now that I think about it, it's a lot of fun. ”

Listening to Cen Jianxun's eloquent words, Lu Yan could somewhat hear some sadness in his tone. Although Cen Jianxun at this moment remembered the past with some smiles on his face. But the company he founded is about to change hands. Lu Yan can still understand this feeling to some extent. It is precisely because of this that Lu Yan did not allow other companies to invest in Dongcheng Imaging at all.

Because in that case, the initiative of the company is not in their own hands. At that time, there is no way for the company to sell Dongcheng Imaging to itself

"Curly brother, there's no denying it. What you said is indeed right, I also take a fancy to the current Debao Cinema Line" Lu Yan smiled and said very calmly: "But I can guarantee that after Debao Film Company is merged into Dongcheng Films, it will definitely be even more brilliant than now, and such glory, I hope that Brother Curly can also participate in it......"

Unexpectedly, Cen Jianxun heard this, but waved his hand and continued: "When I first became the boss, I filmed "Waiting for Dawn". At that time, Debao had just started, and we had to find Jiahe to invest half of the investment. Because I didn't have any money, and because of this, I wasn't a very strong producer at that time. I REMEMBER HO GUANCHANG SAYING TO ME, JOHN, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. I helped him make a "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" at that time, so I directly threw a sentence: Mr. He, how much money did I make for you in my last movie, you just make me happy. He said: Okay, well, pat pat I think it's okay to swarm and make some movies that are sure to make money. But that's not what I think I'm supposed to do, movies should be fun, creative, and have room for expansion.

In fact, I have always felt that the current Hong Kong film market is very different, and the real money may be the neurotic comedies I play. I didn't shoot it, but I said it might be on. Wow, Taiwan will take the money, I may need 10 million, I may have already got 20 or 30 million. I don't, I don't shoot these. I'm going to shoot something I like, what can you do with me? At this time, whether it is a distributor or a boss in the film industry. Everyone said: Oh, anyway, curly hair can help me make money, forget it, "He's crazy, you just make him happy".

You have such a good relationship with Lao Xu, just ask Shi Nansheng. Debao's "Waiting for the Dawn" is about the same period as the film studio's "Shanghai Night", and I still remember hearing that she was going to Chongyang, and I was also scheduled for that period. I asked her, do you want to schedule this schedule, she said: Sure, I can't help it, okay, I'll pull it out, we have such a relationship. Everyone's help, good brother

Of course, you like to play innovative. And every innovative movie is played so successfully. I do have great admiration for you. From ancient times to the present, I have never found a director like you. At a young age, you can do this kind of thingIn fact, how many people are following your movie and we actually want to, but it is for the sake of face. New Art City, Golden Harvest, aren't they all the same......"

How do you listen to this, a little deliberately evasive? Lu Yan thought for a while and said modestly: "Brother Curly, I'm just like you." I hope to be able to make something I like and make a movie, no matter how good it is, if I just rely on him to eat?"

"Haha" Cen Jianxun, who heard this, looked at Lu Yan with strange eyes, and said with a smile: "Are you despising Xinyi City?" ”

"Ahem, I don't mean that, I'm just saying that we need a lot of innovation in making movies, and we can't always eat the old book, otherwise the market will eventually shrink." Lu Yan immediately waved his hand and explained.

I have to say that it is no wonder that Cen Jianxun would think of this level. Whether it's the "Best Partner" series or the current "Happy Ghost" series. Xinyicheng seems to like to make so-called sequels to eat the box office and really be able to come up with movies that can win the box office, and this is indeed the case......

"Don't be in such a hurry to explain, in fact, even if you admit it, it is the truth." Cen Jianxun smiled slightly, and then sighed: "It is indeed the new (wave) tide director of our Hong Kong film who is terrifying, and he has gradually begun to officially take over, as if he was suddenly photographed on the beach by you, a young boy." ”

"Brother Curly, is this a killing? Whether it is you, director Tsui Hark, they are all representatives of Hong Kong films now, and the emergence of new (wave) movies does not mean that local filmmakers have been completely eliminated. Like Brother Sanmao, they are all iconic characters, and I am just a part of the Hong Kong film market. ”

"Since you started in the newspapers, the reporters have said that you are arrogant and crazy, and they say that you are very humble, haha...... The image you have set up for yourself is really contrasting. ”

"Hehe, I'm just a director who likes movies. If you take out the film and pass it in your heart, you will be very satisfied" Lu Yan smiled and asked again: "Brother Curly, what do you mean?" ”

"Actually, I have a quarrel with Pan Disheng like this, and I feel uncomfortable. It's just that he didn't interfere when he said it was good...... I was ready to leave for a long time, and now that he has sold the company, I believe that you can indeed take Debao to a better position. ”

Speaking of this, Cen Jianxun ignored Lu Yan's slightly discolored face and continued: "Debao, I am Gao Zhisen in the group to shoot some "Rich and Powerful", purely to make money. During the Chinese New Year, Gu Weili also came from Xinyi City, so she poached her group and became one of my two production directors, and the other one was Cui Baozhu.

There is also a group of productions of Yu Zheng and Gan Guoliang, their stuff is crazy, I deliberately let them do it. We have a theater chain, we have to make sure that what films are for the New Year, what is Christmas, what are the films for summer vacation, and the prime time, I don't dare to let Gan Guoliang touch them, and I want to return to Sammo Hung and me. There are also Maggie Cheung and Lin Zixiang's "Christmas Adventure", I want to ensure the box office, otherwise investors will have opinions. Let you like this, it's because you make money, I'm clear, if you don't let me shoot what I like, I won't be able to make a comedy like the Lunar New Year. Debao is different from Xinyicheng, there are many of them, and Debao has the final say. ”

When he said, 'Debao I have the final say', Cen Jianxun obviously had a sense of pride. And Lu Yan can be regarded as hearing it, Cen Jianxun is introducing Debao Film Company to himself, but what does he mean by what he said just now? Do you want to stay, or do you want to leave?

"By the way, we have a special feature that we meet every week. Six departments: the distribution is Zhang Jiazhen, the producers Gu Weili and Cui Baozhu, the script is Chen Qiaoying, and she is Zeng Jinchang. Xiao Zeng is my apprentice, and I have taught him too many things. When the time comes, Yan Zai can promote, promote and then promote Shu Qi, and there is also the head of the movie theater, Liang Naiming. Cen Jianxun said as he began to write on a piece of paper on the table: "These people are all very experienced, you can rest assured that I know that Dongcheng Imaging is lacking in professional manpower in this area......

After speaking, Cen Jianxun handed the list to Lu Yan

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lu Yan took over the list, although he had long known about the inside of Debao Film Company. But when I heard Cen Jianxun's introduction, it would naturally become clearer.

"Brother Curly, thank you" It seems that Cen Jianxun has compromised, after all, the acquisition of Debao Film Company has been ironclad and cannot be changed.

"I've been working in Debao for so long, and I feel tired, and I believe that Debao Film Company will definitely not be bad when it comes to you. I'm watching it at any time, if I can't get Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest like this. I'll come back to settle accounts with you," Cen Jianxun stood up and said with a smile: "Come, let's shake hands." ”

"What? Are you still leaving? Lu Yan suddenly got up, a little puzzled.

Cen Jianxun shook Lu Yan's hand, nodded and said: "During this time, I have been thinking repeatedly about what kind of film creation I am suitable for, it is undeniable that I am not suitable for being the manager of a film company. I have limited energy, so I just took advantage of this time to think about it."

Cen Jianxun's words have also indicated that he has completely let go. is also telling Lu Yan that he will not take any of the people from Debao Film Company away.

This is undoubtedly good news for Lu Yan.

The reason why Cen Jianxun was retained was largely because of the involvement of other staff members. And if Cen Jianxun is his deputy, it will be more convenient to manage. But Cen Jianxun left alone, so it was not bad news for Lu Yan. It's just that this curly-haired brother is very good whether he is a director or an actor. It's a pity that he can't be kept after all

"Hehe, you don't have to look at me so weirdly, maybe one day I will come to you to invest" Cen Jianxun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his office and said with some emotion: "I have paid a lot for Debao." It's just that it's not easy to run a film company, otherwise Lao Xu wouldn't just get a studio, Sanmao wouldn't have been named in Golden Harvest, just a satellite company, Yan Zai, do a good job, I'm looking forward to the emergence of a more progressive film company to break the deadlock in the current Hong Kong film market."
